Robotic Chassis Welding for NASCAR’s "Car of Tomorrow"

The NASCAR Car of Tomorrow is a universal car design by NASCAR for its Sprint Cup Series. The FANUC ARC Mate 120iB welding robot helps to ensure the safety, integrity, and performance of the car during race conditions. The use of the ARC Mate 120iB robot decreases the assembly and weld time by 75%. It also allows the team to deliver a more standardized and complete kit with less welding at the teams shop. The process gave the team a competitive advantage in repeatability, quality, accuracy, and consistency.
